im all for this.


and yes chris, i will have a seat.

Theaetetus: "We do not pay salaries because LFL player are not employees," said McMillen, referring to the fact that players in the league are considered independent contractors.

McMillen has clearly been in the strip club business before.

Walker: I can't fap to this!

I can!!!

Where in the Fark have I been? I've never heard of this.

I dont have any problem with starting up youth leagues to get girls into playing football. Maybe you might get some girls good enough to play something more than a kicker on the boys team.

Im all for girls playing traditionally male sports, especially hockey.

Theaetetus: Seattle Mist player Jessica Hopkins tells us the youth teams may pave that new path. Maybe one day she says, girls won't have to wear lingerie to get people interested.

Not that I don't like seeing women in lingerie, but that's a really depressing statement.

Then again, so is this:
Meanwhile three former "LA Temptation" players are reportedly suing the League for, among other things, being paid less than $8 an hour (California's minimum wage), not receiving overtime, and not getting a cut from the 2010 $100,000 LFL Championship purse.

"We do not pay salaries because LFL player are not employees," said McMillen, referring to the fact that players in the league are considered independent contractors.

They really should unionize. I love the idea of the LFL, but only if they are actually sharing in the spoils and getting a fair piece of the action.

Too Pretty For Prison: Where in the Fark have I been? I've never heard of this.

It's been around a few seasons.

Tampa's home opener is tonight, but I don't think that's a proper place to take the girlfriend for our anniversary.

Oh Sweet Jesus, it's real!!

_{hot - like it oughta be}

On the other hand, midget lingerie football...

That's exactly what I thought of. If these players made tips, they'd have to give 50% to the house.

/The official mascot of the Youth Lingerie Football League.

Whenever somebody says this country isn't all that it used to be, I remind them that we're the only country with a lingerie football league. God Bless America.

/are we? I never checked.

I submitted this with a headline about Tiaras and Toddlers preparing for the upcoming draft or somethin', but yeah, this headline works too.

Might be difficult to find a long snapper in that league.

FFS, they're told exactly where, when and how to do their jobs, and they even wear uniforms. If they're not employees then nobody's an employee.

Football? I'd prefer all the hot athletic women do something that shows their form and movement a little better, like volleyball, tennis, stripping, cheerleading, etc.

Theaetetus: Not that I don't like seeing women in lingerie, but that's a really depressing statement.

Not really, if you understand what the average person watches sports for: to see the best athletes compete. I guess you also have to be honest enough to admit that females don't hold a candle to males when it comes to the major sports. They can't build that much muscle, and their lungs are inferior.

Now, if you are feeling really sad for the ladies, you can also add this: women, in general, aren't particularly interested in watching sports AND those who do also prefer watching the NBA over the WNBA.



As it pertains to their pay, they deserve to be paid well for their work, relative to the income brought in by the sport, just like any other athlete.

Holy shiat, I didn't realize they made out too. How frequent is that?

Mr. Potatoass: Might be difficult to find a long snapper in that league.

Facepalm

Super Chronic: If they're not employees then nobody's an employee.

Give it another 50 years the way things are going. The equivalent of the folks who are anti-union today will be talking about how awesome it is that their company can excel by completely eliminating company loyalty (but of course if you want to be hired back next week for the job, you'd better do everything they tell ya!)

Ever seen women's hockey? Not enough fights.

/you got some hockey in my brawling

Not often enough. They get a facemask penalty.

Theaetetus: Also no fights - why aren't you complaining about men's hockey at the college level?

Because no one watches college hockey?

You know the LFL won't have sex with you right? :P

/completely agrees with you on all the pay/medical care, etc.

Theaetetus: and can get fined $500 for wearing anything extra to cover up.

And? This is not an issue. I'm sure these women are smart enough to know that the LINGERIE football league is about sex moreso than sport.

Males aren't offended at wearing very little to play their sports btw. See swimming and pro wrestling. I don't know who to blame for gender differences, but there is nothing wrong with men paying money to willing women to show some skin - and women pay good money for women to show some skin too (see modeling, which isn't about what men like, but about what women buy). The women should be negotiating to earn what they need to, and having read this thread I wouldn't support the league given their conditions. Strippers get paid phenomenally, so I don't know why women as beautiful as some of the LFL chicks are willing to do what they do. Heck, they should go strip on the weekend and then form their own league to play football wearing what they want: they'd probably make more money that way.

You can make the argument that in various cases strippers/hookers/whatever are put in a position where they can't say no to that lifestyle despite not wanting to reveal their bodies, and you'd be correct. Of course if they said no, they'd be reduced to the same situation as a male who never seriously had that option to begin with.

They're not only trying to start a kiddie league, they're trying to recruit Paris Jackson for it. As in, Michael Jackson's daughter.



Well.....whatever turns you guys on. (This is the adult team.)

no. no. no. no.

/has teenage daughters..

justafarkingchef: no. no. no. no.

/has teenage daughters..

Go on...

They're independent contractors. Just like strippers ......
and electricians

Did nobody tell subby that the Chris Hansen meme died 3 years ago?

OtherLittleGuy: Theaetetus: BolloxReader: I love the idea of the LFL

Apparently, not all the players do, from that quote. They love playing football, and realize that, at present, this is the only way to make it (barely) economically feasible.
By comparison, the Women's Professional Football League, which plays full-tackle, pays players $100 per game.

Sounds like the LFL is taking after the NCAA template of everyone makes money but the players.

/I predict a real chance that the LFL will overtake the NHL and NASCAR as "the fourth major league"

Not a chance, of the of the 25 largest sporting venues in the world 10 of them are NASCAR tracks. citation

as long as the DC Divas stay fully dressed at all times

Huh? In the NCAA, they get free food, clothes, shelter, a high class education, medical insurance, personal training, and, well, a cash stipend.
